The evaluation of combined fractional flow reserve and dynamic SPECT in chronic total occlusion

Background: Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is the most challenging subset in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but the optimal selection of patients and indication for such procedures remain a subject of debate. We sought to investigate the role of physiological function in treatment decision...

description Background: Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is the most challenging subset in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but the optimal selection of patients and indication for such procedures remain a subject of debate. We sought to investigate the role of physiological function in treatment decisions of CTO PCI by measuring fractional flow reserve (FFR) and Dynamic SPECT imaging in this study. Methods: All the FFR of CTO vessel were measured before and immediately after CTO revascularization, and Dynamic SPECT imaging were detected before PCI in patients with an identified CTO. Results: A total of 53 patients with single-vessel CTO lesions were included in this cohort study. The mean FFR value was 0.34 ± 0.09 at baseline. Immediately after successful CTO PCI, the FFR value significantly increased to 0.79 ± 0.11. The regional coronary flow reserve (CFR) of CTO vessels was 1.62 ± 0.64, which was significantly and positively correlated with the baseline FFR value (r = 0.607, p = 0.005). The area under the ROC curve of the baseline FFR for the detection of ischemia was 0.923 (p < 0.001). The diagnostic performance in terms of sensitivity and specificity was 83.3 % and 85.7 % for baseline FFR with a ROC-optimized cutoff value of 0.35. Conclusions: A significant correlation was found between the CFR derived from dynamic SPECT and baseline FFR. An FFR of <0.35 before CTO PCI can be taken as the cutoff for the presence of inducible ischemia, which was a useful index for therapy options.
